I built an armada.

Chapter 512: A huge order was won, and the treatment of the entire army was improved

Naturally, the next quotation came as a matter of course.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is all I have to say about the combat capabilities of the 052B."

Zhang Zhaoxin smiled at everyone and said, "I believe that you and the military experts you brought with you already have an idea of ​​what's going on."

"As for its true combat effectiveness in actual combat, I think you will know it after you buy it and put it into actual combat. One thing I can assure you is that it will definitely bring you a huge surprise."

The military experts from various tribes nodded in agreement. Since the actual tests had achieved such remarkable results, the performance in actual combat would naturally not be bad!
After a brief pause, Zhang Zhaoxin looked at Wang De next to him, glanced at Secretary Wang, and spoke again.

"Okay, next, regarding the quotation, I will hand it over to my colleague Secretary Wang, who will continue to discuss with you."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhaoxin took a step back and handed the scene over to Secretary Wang.

Secretary Wang had a kind smile on his face. He strode to the front of the crowd, took a deep breath, took the microphone and started talking.

"Everyone, you are already fully aware of the various equipment and performance of the 052B, so I will not go into details here. Let's get straight to the point."

"What I want to tell you is that we are not selling technology alone, but complete warships."

“So the price won’t be that outrageous.”

Hearing this, everyone's faces immediately looked much better.

What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century, besides talent, is technology.

Since it is not sold based on technology alone, the price will naturally not be too expensive.

Of course, if you are not just selling technology, you must be mentally prepared for the technology to be controlled.

Many tribes have suffered in this regard.

"Each 052B is equipped with three basic missiles, including air-to-air and anti-ship missiles."

"It will also be equipped with three base numbers of torpedoes, which means eighteen."

Secretary Wang took out the document, took a look at it, and told the basic weapons equipment.

"Therefore, the total price of each ship is US$5 million!"

"If the order quantity exceeds three, we will provide five years of maintenance fees, which means we will cover all repairs within five years."

When everyone heard the offer, they immediately relaxed completely and thought: Overall, this price is still a good deal.

You should know that the maintenance cost of warships is very expensive. They need to be maintained at least twice a year, and it costs a lot of money to ask the seller to do it. But now they are given away for free, which saves a lot of money.

Selling it for $500 million is already a huge profit.

If the Eagle Tribe also had such advanced destroyers for sale, the price would definitely not be so cheap.

This is the only ship of its kind on the entire Blue Star. None of the tribes can calculate the cost of a ship, and they have no way to calculate it.

After all, the labor costs and internal procurement prices of each tribe are different.

As for the 051C sold to the Tesha tribe, it was almost the same price, but that included the cost of ammunition supply within five years.

After hearing this, the representatives of the tribes were stunned for a moment.

According to calculations, it costs US$500 million to fully fund a warship over five years, and only extra money needs to be spent on purchasing additional ammunition, which is still very cost-effective overall.

But for some small and medium-sized tribes, it is still very painful, because they have never bought such expensive warships in their lives.

Some representatives who were just waiting to see the outcome suddenly became confused.

They all looked at their respective military experts, only to see those military experts nodding at them one after another and giving them reminders in a low voice.

"Although their price is a bit expensive, it is really worth it when you consider the overall situation."

"Although I don't quite understand the current situation, the value of such a warship is there. It is worth the price, and after buying it back, we still make a profit."

"After we bring back a warship like this, our navy will be much stronger! If a few tribes that we don't like buy it, it will be very disadvantageous to us. No matter what, we must have such a warship."

As for how many ships to buy, military experts can only make suggestions but have no decision-making power.

After listening to this, the representatives of various tribes all sighed softly.

They knew very well that what the military experts said was correct. A warship could bring huge tribal benefits, but they were still a little confused about the price.

If they don't come, they won't be bothered.

They were just acting like ostriches and simply didn't watch what happened. But now it was completely over. They were tied to the chariot and couldn't get off.

If there is not enough to sell, the tribe will definitely suffer.

Buy it, it’s too expensive.

Representatives from the Niying Tribe, the Qianfo Tribe, the Feilu Tribe, and the Tiehou Tribe were all helpless at this moment. They looked at each other, not knowing how to make up their minds.

Five hundred million US dollars for a warship, such a high price is also a headache for them.

I had originally thought of buying a few more ships so that I could show off my power on the sea, but now I have to hold back.

It’s too expensive, making the already low military budget even tighter!

Secretary Wang, who was standing in the front, was not in a hurry at all. He still looked at everyone with a smile and finally gave some very considerate suggestions.

"If you representatives are unable to make the decision, you can contact the tribal leaders behind you to discuss it."

"There is still plenty of time, and there is no need for us to rush."

Upon hearing this, many people ran to the side and contacted the relevant persons in charge of the tribes behind them.

To be honest, with such high costs, these representatives really have no way to make a direct decision, and the person in charge behind the scenes needs to make the final decision.

After all, if such a huge amount of money is dismantled, it must be used to make up for the shortfall in other areas.

Representatives from the Philippine Tribe, the Thousand Buddha Tribe, the Iron Monkey Tribe and the Niying Tribe gathered together and discussed in a low voice.

"Brothers, let's stop thinking about it now. Let's talk about what to do."

"My suggestion is that we all buy according to our ability, how about that? Don't let each of us get caught in a dilemma, just make sure our strength is relatively balanced, what do you think?"

"Your suggestion is good. I think so too. We are not rich."

"I agree with this. I second it."

After about half an hour, representatives from the four tribes basically reached a consensus.

As for the representatives of other tribes, they have almost all been contacted.

The tribal leader behind it has basically given relevant decision-making directions.

Originally, I had thought that I could buy a few ships at a low price to form a fleet with sufficient military strength, and patrol everywhere to show off my power. Now, I only dared to purchase one or two ships to serve as a facade. A few hours later, all the orders were signed.

Zhang Zhaoxin made a statistics and found that the Navy sold a total of 36 052B missile destroyers this time.

For the Navy, this is a record-breaking military trade sale, and it can be said that performance is soaring!
Some tribes bought one, others bought two.

As a result, only a few tribes purchased more than three ships.

The tribes from the third world, due to severe lack of funds, only bought one or two ships.

Most of them were bought by the oil-rich tribes in the central region. They are all technically savvy and willing to spend money on armaments.

They are not short of money, the only thing they lack is the national defense and military strength to protect themselves.

Unlike other tribes who bought them for their own use to defend their country, several Western tribes with strong navies gave up the idea of ​​buying them for establishment after seeing that the Longxia Navy actually had 052C.

Compared to other tribes that wanted to sell it back for use, several powerful naval tribes in the West gave up the idea of ​​buying it as a full-scale operation after seeing that it was the 052C, and only wanted to buy one back for research.

Especially the Western Alliance tribes headed by the Eagle Tribe, their main goal is to find ways to attack the Longxia Navy's surface ships. As long as they can defeat the increasingly powerful Longxia Navy's surface ship forces, they are willing to spend any amount of money.

Not only the British tribe is like this, but also the White Bear tribe is like this.

The high price made all the tribes that originally wanted to use the purchased 052B to form a fleet give up the idea.

In their opinion, instead of investing billions of dollars at one time to buy warships from the Longxia tribe, it would be better to buy one and conduct a thorough research on it.

If they are lucky enough and master the core technology of 052B, they will really make a fortune!

Secretary Wang and Zhang Zhaoxin did not expose the little plots of these tribes. Instead, they smiled and watched them unfold, not caring at all.

They have great confidence in Su Dingping and believe that Su Dingping will set up anti-reverse engineering measures in these foreign trade warships. By then, they will be in big trouble, which will definitely be no less than the trouble they brought to the Longxia Navy in the first place!

After all the arms purchase agreements were signed, someone couldn't wait to ask.

"Secretary Wang, when will you ship the goods?"

This question is also the doubt in the minds of everyone present and is also the most concerned issue.

Secretary Wang looked at everyone cheerfully and said, "Please rest assured, we will definitely ship out all the goods in the order agreed upon in the agreement we just signed within a year and a half."

"So, please don't worry too much and stay at home."

"Of course, you also need to select a group of people to pilot this battleship as soon as possible. You probably don't want to see a battleship just exist without anyone using it, right?"

Relying solely on the previous production line, it would be impossible to produce 36 052B ships within two years.

But now that they have paid the money, we can use a portion of it to open two more production lines.

This means that all three production lines are operating at full capacity, and it is very possible to deliver all 052Bs within a year and a half.

By then, when the tribes are unable to fully understand the core technology of 052B, they will have to start purchasing engines again.

A year and a half is enough time for the navy to reach a higher level of strength.

By the time those tribes with ulterior motives have mastered the relevant technologies of 052B, the Longxia Navy will have become stronger to another dimension.

When the tribal representatives heard that the goods would be shipped in the order in which the agreements were signed, they all regretted their decision and hated themselves for not signing the purchase agreements first.

Although signing early or late is the same, the consequences of the two are completely different. If you sign early, you can get the warship early. One day earlier is a day's better.

This immediately made Allen, the representative of the Eagle Tribe, the overlord of Blue Star, dissatisfied.

Why do we have to ship in sequence?
What the hell, do you still want to save my face? This is outrageous!
Alan immediately stood up and said to Secretary Wang.

"Secretary Wang, how about this? I'll pay you as usual, but can you give us the Type 052B on display directly?"

"Just think of it as a small loss. It doesn't matter. We are willing to take it."

I have to say, his abacus was clacking so loudly that the beads were about to jump onto the faces of other tribes.

As soon as he finished speaking, the representative of the White Bear Tribe, Dalft, immediately became dissatisfied and quickly stood up.

"Secretary Wang, if you give us that warship, I'm willing to pay you 10% more. Is that okay with you?"

Therefore, there was no need for Secretary Wang to refuse, as the other tribes would not give up.

Upon hearing this, Allen immediately quit, glared at Daluft, and said loudly: "Daluft, what do you mean? Are you going to go against me?"

Daluft spread his hands and said directly: "What do you mean by right? We are doing business now, and we also like this 052B. Why can't we offer a higher price? If you have the ability, you can also increase it. I won't care about you."

"Well, if that's the case, don't blame me."

Allen's eyes were extremely gloomy. He snorted coldly and said, "I will just add 30% and sell this ship to us."

"I'll add 40%!"

"I'll join too..."

For a moment, representatives from the Eagle Tribe and the White Bear Tribe started to raise the price at the same time, and the tit-for-tat implication was obvious.

Everyone at the scene understood the little thoughts of the two tribal representatives.

Both parties relied on the fact that their tribes had top military experts and planned to get them first to seize the initiative, and then conduct research immediately after returning to achieve a breakthrough!

Secretary Wang and Zhang Zhaoxin smiled at each other. They both knew the little thoughts of the two tribes.

Zhang Zhaoxin stood up and smiled apologetically at everyone.

"There is no need for the two representatives to argue. This warship has a very important and extraordinary meaning to our tribe. It is not for sale and will not be sold to anyone."

“It’s not just a display, so please understand.”

"You should know that the East Wasteland Tribe surrendered to us, and the surrender was accepted on the stern deck of this ship. Even if it is retired in the end, it will be sent to the Naval Museum."

When everyone heard this, they understood instantly.

They themselves would not sell such warships to other countries, and it's not like the tribe is so poor that they can't make ends meet.

Alan and Dalfut looked at each other and sighed helplessly almost at the same time.

Both of them knew that their little plan had failed.

As the representatives left the Northern Fleet base dock in an orderly manner, the warship sales event came to a successful conclusion.

For those tribes that came to participate in the sale, they gained something or other and returned home satisfied.

Inside the fleet base building, Zhang Zhaoxin appeared more than an hour later.
